That sounds right.

Actually that would have been
        --with-screen=ncursesw
rather than
        --enable-widec
(that option applies to ncurses).  But the --with-screen option is used
mainly to tell it how to find the header files for the given flavor of
ncurses/ncursesw.

It seems that someone's packaged ncursesw as libncurses (which works,
but means that you can't have both libraries).  Since ncursesw stores
more data per cell, it will be slower (I prefer being able to make the
choice).

yes - the "(wide)" says that as far as lynx is concerned, it's there.

There are some sites that you can connect to test (I recall finding that
when I was testing a while back).  The ones I bookmarked don't seem to
be reliable though.
